Fans: give us something to support. Because dubious legal action and zero long term plan on or off the pitch ain't it.

Time to put up or fuck off Sisu. Give us solid plans on:
- the new stadium
- regaining fans trust and confidence
- where we are going on the pitch
- backing to get there off it
- sack Fisher, apologise for him
- stop trying to split the fanbase and make us a club again

Or piss off and take your ridiculous debt pile with you.

Edit: (Or what Ashdown said)

I can't get over the feeling that we are supporting Sisu in their court battles. Whether it's true or not.

It was constructed to survive on the exorbitant high rent we paid. Would have been alright if a decent percentage of our payments was exchanged to shares.

Ok but it wasnt failing at that point was it?

What a shame CCFC or its owners never proposed such a share purchase deal.

Joy Seppala, Tim Fisher and Steve Waggott....it is you three we have lost faith in. We are not going because of what you three and others have done to our club. The on field performances reflect off field activity...it does not merit the loyal support we have previously given the club. You have treated us with contempt. That is why fans have had enough and are staying away.

Surely they won't submit on time 2 years running! A transfer embargo and a point deduction is all that's missing from this god awful season.

Ah but there was. First time when Ranson was forced out. If he hadn't resigned sisu would have put us in administration.
Second time when they tried to rob Yorkshire Bank (to have them take a huge cut of the loan. The idea was to show the club was on the brink of extinction).
Third time was before we actually went into administration. Those accounts were never filed and the company was (is being) liquidated.

First accounts from Otium was on time. I can't see a reason why they won't file on time now.

The man is probably the most hated in the City. Even if he alone left, u believe there would be an instant spike in attendances. He makes orange Ken look competent.

At the end of the day, Fisher does not give a flying fuck about the club nor its fans. If he applied half as much commitment into running th football side of things as he did on his hell bent mission to topple ACL, we wouldn't be in this perilous position. Vile human being whose position wouldve been untenable 2 years ago in most companies. I pray that one say he gets his comeuppance the fat ugly fuck.

Kind of what I was saying - the rent was too high, but necessary for ACL to survive. The difference between too high rent - say 400K at the time - and what was needed by ACL should have been converted to shares.
But of course, that could only happen if CCC were seeing the club as an asset for the city.

First accounts were filed seven months late. Be optimistic to think this time will be any different.

Or if the club saw the Ricoh as an asset and either:

A) managed to pay for the damn thing in the first place on their own.

B) kept hold of the 50% they owned instead of pawning it for short term cash rather than fixing the structural issues at the club.

C) bought the share back for cost at any point while trying to reach the Premiership and spending far more on players

D) attempted to foster a relationship where they would be trusted with stewardship of a key part of Coventry's regeneration strategy.

E) Put a competitive bid in when it was up for sale.

The the rent was high, that's not the debate, it's the tactics used to lower that rent that's the issue.

Your argument is akin to chopping your leg off because you got a splinter and blaming the floorboard manufacturer for not being able to compete in the local arse kicking contest.

No that would be Robinson.
Sisu tried to buy a piece of ACL.
Failed, but tried.
